Laundry Room Project... and more on Dozer! :-)

Well, I finally got tired of my laundry room constantly being in a state of MESS all the time, so we did something about it! There wasn't any storage at all in the room, except for one small cupboard below the sink (which was already full). We priced out getting cupboards for above the counter, and they were outrageous! So... we decided to be resourceful! Our handy builder had left behind 4 shelves from the bookcase he built in the dining room, so we put them to use, and I LOVE it!
BEFORE:
The counter top was piled with stuff, all needing a home. This corner was haphazardly thrown together, and awkward...
Yuck! I couldn't even see the tops of the washer & dryer, and the cleaning supplies looked awful up there...
AFTER:
I need some ideas for this wall - We tried a mirror, but it's too high to be able to see anything so it seemed pointless... (this was the ledge that was cluttered with cleaning supplies)
A CLEAN counter top!! Now what am I going to clutter it with?
I just love how this turned out! The baskets hide (mostly) all of our paper-ware, ironing supplies, misc office supplies, cleaning utensils etc! Also, I had been wondering how to use those darling sun & moon plates, and was so excited that they fit in here!
The shelf fit PERFECTLY in this little nook - now it hides the cleaning supplies!
In other news...
Dozer is becoming our window cat...
He slept in here for awhile today - nice and cozy I guess!
I was dusting the bookshelves, and he seemed to think this bowl was just for him!!And a random act of cooking...
Mmm, Enchiladas... (I have to photograph when I bake since I do it so infrequently!!)That's all folks! We leave for Kauai in 5 days!!!
